Interview with Ding Liren | FIDE World Cup 2019 | R3, TB |

The match between Wang Hao (China) and Lenier Dominguez (USA) was very tense: each player made a comeback after losing a starting game, first in rapid, then in 10-minute chess. However, Dominguez dominated in blitz and advanced to the next round.

In the Russian derby, Ian Nepomniachtchi won the first 10-minute game, but Tomashevsky, the reigning Russian champion, managed to equalize the score in the second game. In blitz, however, Nepomniachtchi had a clear edge and won both games.

Bounce to this.

A beautiful sequence from Ian Nepomniachtchi.
